What color should I paint my kitchen?

Question

Color paint for kitchen? Counters greyish blue (speckled) laminate and the floors are greyish/white vinyl. Cabinets are golden wood. The color scheme consists of dark blue and olive green. Any suggestions? I'm between peach, rich red, pale blue, and medium/sage green. The cabinet fixtures are chrome and appliances are white. There is a lot of natural sunlight and it is a fairly big kitchen. It is off our living room which is going to be a deep brownish (with red/orange undertones).

If I did paint it blue I'm afraid of it being too blah. What shade of blue should I choose?

Answer 1

My leaning would be towards the green family and would go lovely with a nut brown sort of color. One way i have seen this done is to choose natural items that are pleasing to your eye when put together.Such as a dish of cloves, next to oranges..find food and decorative items that you like the color of as well as that are the color of the adjacent room and you may find a pleasant color that way,Plus many paint stores will sell you mini bottles of paint to try on the wall, and this way you will see how the color wikll look on your walls .

Answer 2

I think I would stay with a muted/pale blue or a shade that will blend in with the gray floor. That's if there is not a lot of green. I wouldn't bring another color in that room. Get some paint chips and start comparing the colors. To blend the kitchen with the living room some small accessories with red/orange might work. Play with it and don't be afraid of colors. Have fun.

If you go to Behr.com you can experiment with all different colors and see what they would look like. We just remodeled our kitchen our self and picking all the colors was really fun! It sounds like you have a good base, you might want to go with the same color as your floor or a couple of shades lighter. If you go lighter on the walls your room will appear bigger and brighter, then you can always pick up the darker colors in your room with accessories.
I hope this helps.

Answer 4

I think that a bright color such as peach or pale blue would be best. You want your kitchen to be bright and inviting, not dark and gloomy. Bright colors can also make a room look bigger than it is.
Good Luck! Happy painting.

Answer 5

I am biased--I painted mine Southern Beauty Red by American Traditions. I just love it--altho it took 3 coats to get it right!

Answer 6

If I were you, I would go with the peach. That should set off your kitchen nicely.

Enjoy your kitchen!
